Last night was fucking amazing; can't wait for tonight (jamming/recording/funtime) and tomorrow (Chicago). If you are in the path of this tour, I highly recommend checking this out. Suishou no Fune surpassed all my expectations and completely blew my mind. I'll post pix of everyone from last night except my own band, who I could not photograph what with having to use my hands for guitar and such. There is another thread on the board with their complete tourdates here.

how were knife world?

Good luck with the tour, try bringing it to the UK!

Knife World were pretty unhinged and fantastic.
Definitely commanded attention and the crowd always loves them.

Congratulations. And what a killer line up.

Come on, use some loops and get pics! :D
Glad to hear you had a great night, by "recording" in this sentence "can't wait for tonight (jamming/recording/funtime)" you mean you'll record something together?

Yeah, we did a couple of hours of improvisation last night and recorded it. Naturally it's not all "pure gold," but there were some very cool parts that lasted a good long while. It was great to do something together that rendered the language barrier completely insignificant. They are very sweet people and they are both quite talented. I had a fantastic time.

remember whan i joked that you should get everyone to play here?

i'm not joking anymore, i want to see and listen to it all!!

And how many times have I told you to come to England, eh? You can sleep in our greenhouse.

well, first i have to start earning at least minimum wage...

ohh, you were talking to thunderbolt pagoda's guitar wizard. excuses.

unfortunately didnt make it to the chicago show as planned. but did end up going to permanent records the following day for some money dropping. great store, wish i made it the night before!

It is a really great record store.

You're in for a treat when they hit Boston!
